MIS-OF THE ALLIANCE.
PEPPER. KYLE AND GSMPSON '-PEAK
IN WASHINGTON.

Rep~esf*ntativ<-eh t .Jei ry Simpson redress
the Citizens' Aliianc.; in Gr;i' (!

everybody by displaying more tri?.?i
ordinary oratorical ability, and M:\
Simpson created great enthusiasm ! ;.
his vigorous eloquence, that was attractive.
although unconventional.
Mr. JL'efTer was seen to be a man o;
angular build, a little above medium
height, slightly stooping in fhe shoulders.
with long, sharp nose, and long
beard of a rich dark brown, falling
down to the lower buttonsof his waistCoat,
and a pair, of keen blue eyes, rather
close together?a man of mild, ministerial
bearing and placid, gentle
rvmntenanrie.
Senator-elect Kyle is a six-loot blonde
^?f athletic build. lie is a man oi' plain
appearance; a man oi the people, whose
> hands have been used to toil, lie does
not lock to be more than .'S3 years old.
His hair and mustache ar^ not quite
red, but nearly so. Ilis complexion is
decidedly blonde and a set oi' very
white teeth are frequently exposed by
a faint smile. His large blue eyes are
expressive of little earnestness or
amiability, but the lines in his face are
strong and his dress and whole bearing
indicate a simplicity and freedom
from affectation or vanity.
Mr. .Jerry Simpson is distinctly the
antipode of a dude, and is far from the
scckless citizen usual!v described for
Simpson. lie is a man of average si/.e.
with dark hair and stubby mustache,
being- otherwise smooth shaven. His
V . ISSh lis bron/.ed, weather-beaten and
r""strongly marked with heavy lines.
His eyes have a peculiar brightness arui
light" up willi an "intellectual lire''
when he talks. A twinkle that comes
into them at times, and a smile that is
just visible at the corners of his mouth,
indicate a keen sense of humor and. ;it
the same time, a degree of selr-coni)dence.
Ilis suit was a sort of gray
goods of "hand-me-down" cut. His
shoes were heavy, with square toes, and
laced with leather strings. His neckwear
was a plain standing collar,
turned down at the corners and ornamented
with a black "shoestring" tie,
and he might be regarded a decidedly
unfashionable figure, but not by any
means uncouth.
Mr. L'ett'pr deplored the poor condition
of the farmers, who had become
poorer while the country had become
richer. He ridiculed the Republican
pretence of reducing the tariff taxes,
and said that the McKinley bill would
bring about the importation off irc-ign
labor. On silver he was a free-coinage
man. He said that one of Cleveland's
good qualities was honesty. There
- - c -* :~
was net me uiuerence c: mtr miiiuig
or a banu on the money problem bftwetn
the leaders of the two old
parties.
"What would you think." he snid."if
Grover Cleveland should unite the Democratic
and the Republican parties
east of the Allegheny Mo-H'taius, and
betneir candidate against the uiiittd
Sou h and West? This is not improbable.
We leave our friends in the East
to take care of themselves. They can
do so only by getting together, i henis
going to be a great storm and our
friends must hustle to get cut of the
rain."
lie cited the policy of the treasury in
gciug to the relief" oi iili street last
summer as an evidence.of class favoritism
of which the-farmers complained.
If that was right, lie saic, it was right
for the Government to conir to the re
JLiCJ. Ui LUC KUUICiJ Ui Ci.;vx II WV.
He drew a word painting of the dugouts
and sod huts, at the doors oi' wiiich
women stood in tears watching lor the
officers coming to sell them out. lie
said they were not repudiators. What
they wanted was money enough in circulation
so that they "could get it for
the products of their labor, lie had
asked farmers in Kansas what interest
they paid on short-time loans, and the}
replieo from 18 to 77 per cent. The
result of their labors on farm products
was not over 1% cr 2 percent.
s He advocated the Government of the
people runn'~.T railroads for public
transportation at low rates, to cover
expenses, but not for profit. A new
Government railroad should be built
from Xortn Dakota to the Gulf. In
about twenty-live } ears, he predicted,
there would be no such thing as interest
on money.
Senator-elect Kyle * considered the
lack of money the trouble in South
Dakota and the "West. He said that
? the Alliance movement grew outof the
discontent in the South and West on
account of economic conditions. More
money was needed to carry on the trade
of the country. The high tariff was
v bad enough, but the scarcity of money
was worse. They wanted money, and
diu not care what sort. Silver money
was as good as gold, and gold was no
better than paper.

ator, full of anecdote and spirit? The
Alliance, he said, was a development.
It was the result of the awakening of
the farmer to the fact that he was not
getting his share of advantages. The
Republican party, he said, was dead.
There would be two greta parties m thy
future?the Democratic and the Alliance.
The Conservatives woiud get
together in the Democratic party, and
those of both parties or oi no party
who were radical and advanced would
be in the Alliance. The South and
"West had joined hards.
The Republicans, he said, had lived
on sectional hate lor a long time; the
party was no longer the party of grand
ideas. At the last election the Republicans
had tried to save themselves in
Kansas by bringing '.n dead issues.
They had wrung the bloody shirt in
the Kansas eamsaien until there was
not another drop in it. They had appealed
to the ?>-d soldiers lo stand by t:ie old
party, buc conditions had changed
since the Alliance told the Kansas soldier
that he would tret to be us much a
slave us the blacks he had fought to
liberate if he did not guard his independence.
The black slawry was but
a primitive slavery; the very essence
of slavey was that of toil without reward,
when the results o' their labor
was take:: Iran them without any return."
"We saw." said Mr. Simpson, "{.hat
this sectional strife w;:s kept aiive for
political purposes. We cair.e to s-e
that the question of loyalty or dis-loyalty
was a m?*re matter v.-i v. hero one
wts born, ii I bad been bom in the
South 1 would probably have ' > ;:: a
rebel and have ivlt it u.-y patriotic duty

thiow in all the old leaders who strive
to keep sectional strie alii've."
lie said he did not think the mom y
question was the all-absorbing one.
The question of transportion was. in
his opinion, more important. 1: was
through these transportation lines,
where the farmers had to pay freights
to cover the interest on watered stocks
several times the amount of the orginal
cost of the roads, that the money of
the farmers was sucked up. if vicious
legislation was to be permitA#*ai^

the circulating medium v.nh

rk-3 m.ar Wiiliainston before daylight
! yesterday morning and was then taken
j to Anderson jail. It is said that it was

vented, and the negro was taken to jail
bei'ore his crime necauift generally
kn.vwn. It is reported t:iat he was ?i veil
jW lashes, but it is put down as an ex
aggeration.
The story, as obtained by a News reporter
last night, from passengers on
: the delayed Columbia Greenville
j train, was that a daughter oi' Jones
Duckworth, a well known farmer living
about a mile from W'illiamston, found
Wei born under her bed when she went
to her room to retire for the night. The
young lady screamed loudly and alarmed
her father and his family, .Mr. Duckworth
ran up stairs to his daughter's
room, thinking that the house was on
are. As he reached the second story he
met \Velborn coming down the steps! He
supposed that the negro had also heard
the young lady's screaming and had
gone to sec what was the matter, and
did not learn the real trouble until his
daughter had told him of her discovery.
Welborn was in the employ of .Mr.
Duckworth, and as the young "lady and
I htr father knew him it was little trouble
j to capture him. lie made a confession
J that lie had stolen into the house unobi
served and had intended to commit an
| outrage. : Ie had even gone so far as to
rear pieces of a blanket to gag the young
lady if she made an outcry. I Lis plan
was to wait until everybody in the

ed .Miss Duckwortu to lock under her
bed and she was startled to -,ee a man
lying there partially concealed by a
blanket.
V\'iio whipped V,'elborn and what time
of the night it was done are not known,
but those who hear of the negroes crime
will only regret that the reported
lashes were not given him.?.News.

Governor Tillman and Socrelarv <>1' t!nInterior
Noble as to what ?v?".u!ti be a
fair division of the Federal iunds appropriated
by Congress lor the agricultural
and mechanical colleges ol the
.Slate. The Legislature oi Smth Carolina
has formally accepted ihe appropriation
for this Slate, and passed an
Act dividing the amount equally between
the Clcmson College and the
Clalliu College. Governor Tillman
early in January wrote Secretary Noble
a letter, giving ihe Secretary all the information
desired. In reply to the Governor
the Secretary replied as follows
on January 31st:
"I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 24th iust.
endorsing a certified eopv of au Act of
your Legislature accepting the provision
of the Act approved August .'>0, 1800.
making appropriation lor an agricultural
college (colored) and the Ciemson Agricultural
College (white.) The school
population, according to tlie latest count
on tile in this ofiice (that of 1$S0) is
35.9 per cent white and C?4.1 per cent,
colored. I am of the oph.ion that the
requirement for an equitable division of
this fund between institutions for the
(Kn rwn mmic will hr-. mpt.
I UUULUUUU SJ1 OUV> CMV/ x ."V?
by dividing the same iu the said ratio of
the school in this case.
Very respectfully.
John W. Xoble, Sccrctar\." ?
Answering the Secretary, Governor
Tillman wrote on February 10 as follows:
**A reply to your letter of .Tauu'ar} .?>1
lias been delayed by illness. The question
as to what would be a 'just and
equitable' division as between our while
an : colored agricultural and mechanical
colleges of the fund appropriated by !
Conirress last year is, so far as this
State is concerned, no longer an open 1
one. Our Legislature has acted a ml
adjourned, and will not meet au'am before
November, so 1 have no power in
the premises. Please let me know
whether you refuse to pay South Carolina
her quota upon the basis proposed
by the General Assembly, and if so,
I whether you insist that the school popu'

instead of 1S90 shall govern.
"I will call j-our attention further lo
these facts: Over SO per cent of the
school tax in South Carolina is paid by
the whites, while the negroes receire the
benefit of over half o? it. Second, t!:e
relative demand for collegiate education,
for which Congress provided, bears 110
relation to the relative numbers of the
two races. Third, your refusal to allow
this money to be divided as the Legislature
has ordered, will cripple the colored
college very seriously, because, relying
0:1 this fund, it has already entered upon
enlargements of its teaching force ucd
facilities, which will have to be stopped.
While the Clemson College (white) is
not yet in operation, and can easily await
an appeal to Congress next December.
I ask you. then, to weigh your actions
well before doing anything to injure our
colored college.
I am very respectfully,

Unit according to lii.s information, the
apportionment of the fund in West Virginia,
is made on the basis of one-third
for the colored people and two-thirds
for the white people, the exact ratio ot
the school population. The following
letter of Governor Tillman to Governor
Xorthen, of Georgia, shows him how
the tliiu^ works:
"Our General Assembly divided the
money appropriated in 1890, by Congress,
for agricultural and mechanical
colleges equally between the white and
negro schools, and when I so notified
Secretary Noble, he replied: the requirement
for an equitable division of this
fund will be met by dividing the same in
the ratio of the school population. He
further mentions the census of lS^O.
with a relative proportion of 04 per
cent colored and 30 per cent white, as a
proper basis of division. As I understand
it, the Georgia Legislature divided
the fund upon the basis of school population.
and Mr. Noble demands that the
negroes shall receive Hall, so' we lind
that he wishes to make South Carolina
just what Georgia lias done and jet object
to Georgia's actions, and further
that he wants to take the school population
as the basis of apportionment by
the census ot 1SS0 iustead of that of
1*90 which shows the white population
01 OUl' OLltlC LU nu\u ^aiiiuu
while the negroes have gained very little.
lie appears to ignore the fact that
nearly all of the school taxes in the
South are paid by the whiles, while the
relative demand lor higher education as
between the races bears no relation to
their numbers, ami that by the division
proposed in South Carolina or in Georgia
the negroes will receive more than
an equitable' share of the Congressional
giant. As our Legislature has adjourned
there is nothing for mc to do except
to insist upon his accenting its action,
and in the event of his refusal, to appeal
to Congress at its next session."

Professor Wilhelm Stell'en, of Louisville,
Kenlucky, according to the provisions
of his own will, lie directed that his
executors should convey his body to Cincinnati,
have it cremated, and then consign
the ashes into the waters of
the Ohio River. In accordance with his
will, Anton Kutzien, representing me
executors, had the body cremated, and
the ashes, in a porcelain urn, were delivered
to him to-day. Taking a cab he
drove to the wharf, where he chartered

water the ashes of the late professor.
The ceremony was as simple as could be
made and was carried out without attracting

and, if tins meets your approbation,
I wish you to call a conference and

for granted the assertion so universally

of cotton is on account of over-production.
If this be not true, a move in the
direction suggested would readily develop

the present crop.
